React Link to and If Statement












1















so I have a function that I want to link to different pages of my project when a button is clicked.
Function below:



displayCharacterProfile() {
let getCharacterName = localStorage.getItem("characterName");

if(getCharacterName == "littlefinger") {
<Link to="/littlefinger"></Link>
}

if(getCharacterName == "tywin") {
<Link to="/tywin"></Link>
}
}


render() {
return (
<button className="enter" onClick={this.displayCharacterProfile}> Enter </button>
);
}


Any quick help would be greatly appreciated guys! Thank you :-)

          Welcome to StackOverflow! When you render a Link element, all it does is display a link to the user. The user has to actually click it in order to go there. Try this:



          render() {
          let getCharacterName = localStorage.getItem("characterName");
          return (
          <button className="enter">
          <Link to={"/" + getCharacterName}> Enter </Link>
          </button>
          );
          }

          • It would probably be better to pass the character name in as a prop and have some other component handle the localStorage call, but I guess that's not technically related to your question :)
